good king wenceslas - ames brothers lyrics
good king wenceslas looked out on the feast of stephen,
when the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even;
brightly shone the moon that night, tho’ the frost was cruel,
when a poor man came in sight gath’ring winter fuel.
“hither, page, and stand by me, if thou know’st it, telling,
yonder peasant, who is he? where and what his dwelling?”
“sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain;
right against the forest fence, by saint agnes’ fountain.”
“bring me flesh, and bring me wine, bring me pine logs h-ther:
thou and i will see him dine, when we bear them thither.”
page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together;
through the rude wind’s wild lament and the bitter weather. (or “…winter weather.”)
“sire, the night is darker now, and the winds blow stronger; fails my heart, i know not how, i can go no longer.” “mark my footsteps, my good page. treadst thou in them boldly: thou shalt find the winter’s rage freeze thy blood less coldly.”
in his master’s steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted;
heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed.
therefore, christian men, be sure, wealth or rank possessing,
ye who now will bless the poor, shall yourselves find blessing.
